Vivek Ramaswamy, the KKK and unicorns — Today’s Republican Party is a strange tableau

[Guno צְבִי]

On Saturday, Aug. 26, 2023, a 21-year-old white supremacist named Ryan Palmeter drove up to the Dollar General in Jacksonville, Florida’s predominantly Black New Town neighborhood wearing a tactical vest, mask and blue latex gloves. He got out of the car, grabbed his Glock pistol and AR-style rifle emblazoned with swastikas and allegedly killed three people, all of them Black, before turning the gun on himself.


Now, that kind of unbridled violence and hatred is bad enough. But it gets even worse when you add the context that, one day earlier, GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy lashed out at Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), a Black woman and a Democrat, calling her and Black author Ibram Kendi “the modern grand wizards of the modern KKK.”

In short, she’s everything the MAGA Republican can’t stand: a smart, strong woman of color who refuses to sit down and shut up.

That's ONE of the things that they can't stand, guno,
but from what I can see,
nobody is planning a dinner for you or me, either.

That's a stretch of a connection there.

So if someone were to cause harm to Sarah Palin we can blame every liberal who has ever said anything negative about her?

You sure you want to open that Pandora's Box?

Vivek is not Trump. MAGA isn't a person.
